Martial Arts and Philosophy $21.95 Socrates, an Athenian soldier, was a calmly efficient killing machine. His student Plato was an accomplished and broad-shouldered wrestler. Martial arts and philosophy have always gone hand in hand, as well as fist in throat. Philosophical argument is closely parallel with hand-to-hand combat. And all of today’s Asian martial arts—like Karate, Kung-Fu, Judo, or Aikido—were developed to embody and apply philosophical ideas. The Japanese martial tradition of Budo, for instance, was influenced by the three philosophical traditions of Shinto, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, and these philosophies are still taught in Japanese martial arts schools all across the world. As Damon Young explains in his chapter, the Japanese martial arts customs of courtesy are derived from Shinto purity, Confucian virtues, and the loving brutality of Zen. In his interview with Bodidharma (included in the book), Graham Priest brings out aspects of Buddhist philosophy behind Shaolin Kung-Fu—how fighting monks are seeking Buddhahood, not brawls. But as Scott Farrell’s chapter reveals, Eastern martial arts have no monopoly on philosophical traditions. Western chivalry is an education in and living revival of Aristotelian ethical theories. The Western martial art of fencing is explored by Nick Michaud, who looks at the morality of selfishness in fencing, and Christopher Lawrence and Jeremy Moss, who try to pin down what makes fencing unique: is it the sword, the techniques, the footwork, the aristocratic aura, or something else? Jack Fuller argues that his training in Karate was an education in Stoicism. Travis Taylor and Sasha Cooper reveal the utilitarian thinking behind Jigoro Kano’s Judo. Kevin Krein maintains that the martial arts are a reply to the existentialist’s anxiety about the meaninglessness of life. Patricia Peterson examines Karate’s contribution to feminism, and Scott Beattie analyzes the role of space in the martial arts school. Joe Lynch pits the Western ideas of Plato against the Eastern ideas of the Shaolin monks. Bronwyn Finnigan and Koji Tanaka uncover the meaning of human action as it appears in Kendo. Rick Schubert explains the meaning of mastery in the fighting arts. Moving to ethical issues, Tamara Kohn discovers what we owe to others in Aikido. Chris Mortensen questions whether his own Buddhist pacifism is compatible with being a martial artist. In different ways, Gillian Russell and John Haffner and Jason Vogel assess the ways in which martial arts can morally compromise us. How can the sweaty and the brutal be exquisitely beautiful? Judy Saltzman looks into the curious charm of fighting and forms, with help from Friedrich Nietzsche.

A Dork’s Tale $15.24 I spun around to see who just yelled and saw the large man running at me like a barbarian warrior.

It was just my luck that all I could remember at the moment was the Lamaze training that we went through when Cindy was pregnant with Leah. I began my breathing exercises… Twenty-two years in marriage is definitely the “School of Hard Knocks.” The tuition is pride. The lesson is humility. The degree is Dork (not to be compared to doctorate). The reward is priceless. Lou’s zany antics never seem to end. Like any predicament, Lou’s experiences contain valuable lessons.

A Planning Guide for You and Your Garden $10.17 ABOUT THE BOOK: While this planning handbook has been designed for first-time gardeners, we think that part-time and experienced gardeners will also find it useful. The book includes information covering the entire process of planning a garden as well as handy worksheets for keeping track of and focusing on important elements of the overall execution and maintenance. These worksheets provide considerable flexibility for readers who may tailor them, as needed, to individual requirements.

The information is general and simple and is presented through a set of mini-lectures, each accompanied by a series of questions and worksheets to help focus readers on their gardens. Two appendices are also provided which include a list of books and miscellaneous sources to help readers get started or expand the current sources for experienced gardeners.

Stop Working “IN” Your Martial Arts School

When you started your martial arts school you were already an expert in your art. But you probably knew very little about actually running a business.

So you had to learn to do everything – the filing, bookkeeping, data entry, setting appointments, computer maintenance, etc.

You took everything on and soon found that not only were you not spending time on growing your school, you felt like you didn’t want to give up control of any part of your business to someone else.

But it is important for the growth of your school that you stop spending time on things you should not be doing – even if you are good at them and enjoy doing them!

You need to understand the importance of letting an expert handle those things that you should not be doing so you can focus more on growing your school.

You might have one or two people helping out at the dojo, but do you continue that policy consistently through out your business? Take a quick assessment:

• Do you keep your own books?
• Do you answer the phones, read your own email and mail?
• Do you handle customer service calls yourself?
• Are you the web master for your school website?
• Do you maintain your student database yourself?

There are many other, similar questions I could ask but I think you see my point. If you answered yes to any of these then you are still working IN your school.

Working IN your school is doing anything that is the day to day operations of your business.

Working ON your business is doing those creative things such as marketing and sales strategies, finding ways to increase student retention – anything that grows your martial arts school.

Most people get this – in theory. But they can’t get past it in practice. You feel stuck in that place, bogged down with day to day stuff and fires that continually need to be put out – not knowing how to get out. Not knowing where to start.

I have developed a video course that shows you a simple system to help you move from working IN your business to working ON your business. It has everything you need including Done For You examples.

You can repair your own car or computer or remodel your own kitchen but first you will have to learn which tools to use, how to use them, make mistakes, go through the whole trial and error thing – or you can hire someone to do it for you.

It is the same with learning how to make that transition from working IN your business to working ON your business. You can take years and learn what I’ve learned and do it yourself or you can allow yourself to take the fast track and start growing your school NOW!
